From my grub install on a Dell Latitude, booting up and loading a text home page takes about 4 sec. What's interesting is the underlying processes, which for a page like Bloomberg (lots of Java, etc) can take over 30 seconds to complete, although the page appears loaded in about 6 seconds. After it's in cache, it's much quicker, although underlying processes can still run over 16 seconds. Dillo completes underlying processes in about 1/3 the time, and loads the page almost instantly. The big difference is in the CPU useage, which for FF can run about 45% compared to about 3% for Dillo. Of course, the tradeoff is that with Dillo, the formating is all screwed up even when things load.
